Sudocrem (/ ˈ s u d ə k r ɛ m / or / ˈ s u d ə k r i m / in Ireland) [3] is an over-the-counter medicated cream aimed primarily at the treatment of irritant diaper dermatitis.It contains a water-repellent base (consisting of oils/waxes); protective and moisturizer agents; antibiotic and antifungal agents; and a weak anesthetic.
The word "diaper" is in the name not because the diaper itself causes the rash but rather because the rash is associated with diaper use, being caused by the materials trapped by the diaper (usually feces). Allergic contact dermatitis has also been suggested, but there is little evidence for this cause. [3]
"Diaper creams can contain ingredients like lanolin, mineral oil, wax or petroleum jelly," Houshmand tells Yahoo Life. "These ingredients can cause facial irritation, clogged pores and acne.
Treatment: Generally, there is no treatment necessary, as the rash will go away on its own. However, its symptoms can be managed with over-the-counter medication like acetaminophen, per Mount Sinai .
The product was created in the 1970s by George Boudreaux of Covington, Louisiana, while he was working as an intern pharmacist. [2] He continued to work on the formula after becoming a licensed pharmacist and sold it at his pharmacy, later naming it "Boudreaux's Butt Paste" after a physician told him a story about a patient who had referred to the product as such.
